Celtic will be among the first clubs to observe a minute’s silence as a mark of respect following the passing of Queen Elizabeth.
And Ange Postecoglou ’s side will also wear black armbands in Wednesday evening’s Champions League showdown with Shakhtar Donetsk. The Scottish champions’ game against Livingston last Saturday was postponed along with the rest of professional football in the UK as the country mourned the death of Her Majesty.
Football was given the green light to restart this week, although still some matches have been postponed as the police forces in Britain struggle to carry out their duties. Celtic’s encounter in Poland will go ahead, though, as will Rangers vs Napoli although it was pushed back by 24 hours – again because of the demands on the police. And all matches featuring UK sides will have what UEFA call "moments of silence" before kick-off with armbands also being worn.
